pushed the current rma_trunk code to the release.
here are the CHANGELOG notes:

- Fixed a bug in the MPAS-ATM model_mod that affected surface observations,
  in particular altimeter obs.  also fixed a bug in the vertical conversion
  if using 'scale height' as the vertical localization type.

- Fixed a bug in the CAM-FV model_mod which might have excluded observations 
  with a vertical coordinate of height (meters) which were in fact below the 
  highest_obs_height_m namelist setting.  also fixed a possible memory leak.

- Added two new modules: options_mod.f90 and obs_def_utilities_mod.f90 
  this was required so we didn't have circular dependencies in our modules
  as we reused common code in more places.
                   
  We have updated all the path_names* files which are in the repository.
  if you have your own path_names files you may need to add these new modules
  to your path lists.

    assimilation_code/modules/utilities/options_mod.f90
    observations/forward_operators/obs_def_utilities_mod.f90

- Removed QTY_SURFACE_TEMPERATURE from the default obs quantities list
  and added QTY_2M_SPECIFIC_HUMIDITY.  QTY_2M_TEMPERATURE exists for
  atmospheric models, and QTY_SKIN_TEMPERATURE and QTY_SOIL_TEMPERATURE
  exist for other models.  if you were using QTY_SURFACE_TEMPERATURE
  please replace it with the corresponding other temperature quantity.

- Updated and improved the observation converter for ionospheric observations
  from the COSMIC GPS satellite.

- Updated the CAM-FV scripts for cesm2_0_beta05.

- Updated the Matlab diagnostics documentation.  'help DART' or 'doc DART'
  will give an overview of the available Matlab diagnostics shipped with the
  dart distribution.

- Added the observation type COSMIC_ELECTRON_DENSITY to the obs_def_upper_atm_mod

- dart_to_clm and clm_to_dart were resurrected to correctly handle conversions
  for the SWE (snow water equivalent) field.

- Updated the channel and column location modules to be compatible with
  the current required interfaces.

- Updated the model_mod_check.f90 program (most often used when porting
  DART to a new model).  there is now more control over exactly which
  tests are being run.  updated the nml and html documentation files to
  match the current code and describe the tests in more detail.

- Fixed a misleading status message in the obs_sequence_tool when all obs
  are excluded by the min/max lon/lat box namelist items.  the incorrect
  message blamed it on observation height instead of the bounding box.

- Added some additional debugging options to the mpi utilities module.
  if you have problems that appear to be MPI related, contact us for
  more help in enabling them.

- Improved some error messages in location_io_mod and state_structure_mod
